Little Ines Easquemento. a Mexican
girl I saw while engineering la the
southwest, waa a merry child (If she
had been born la the north she would
have been a child; but. being a Mexi
can, she was woman).., She might
have been anywhere from fourteen to
sixteen. She played the guitar and
sang with a little birdlike voice, jab
bered Spanish . musically, danced, and
her face won a pwpetua! smile, which
was for every in . Hut If any person
attempted to jruy ber she would knit
her brows and Uriuk away as though
terriSed. And once her confidence
was lost by a bit of banter her good
will could never be regained. t; , v
There was a young engineer engaged
on the same work as myself out there, at
the time fresh from one of the TeckH
schools of the northern states. He
was twenty years old. handsome as a
picture and as bright as a new brass
button. What must he do but make
love to Inez with all the recklessness
of youth regardless of the conse
quences both to himself and ber! I,
who was older, saw . his danger and
warned him. X knew, what was up,
for In the evening when the day's
work was over I would hear on the
Basquemento veranda the twang of
Inez's guitar, her little flute voice, ber
merry laughter mingled with sounds
which I recognized as coming from
Ben Egglestbn, the young man who
was sowing the wind to reap the whirl
wind. :;
"Yon little fool," I would say to him,
"don't yon know that the girl Is a min
gling of child and woman-child In In
experience, .woman la development;
that she will fall In love with yon and
then"
, "I'll break it off at once,- would be
the young fellow's invariable reply,
The boy fully Intended to keep his res
olution when It was made, but gave up
trying to do so when it got cold. The
next night I would hear the same
pleasant sounds on the veranda and
knew that they were breeding the
same storm,
This went on till the work on that
division waa finished and we 'were
about to move. Eggleston assured me
there wouldn't be any trouble., The
girl was such a child that he couldn't
believe she had been attracted to him
as she might have been if more of a
woman. . He was going '. away and
would simply bid her' goodby as. he
would any other girl' of . Immature
years whose companion he had been.
"My advice to you," I said, "is to do
no such thing. Go without saying any
thing about your going. y". .,
He didn't take my advice. The day
before leaving he told her In a care-
lass way that the engineering party to
which he belonged was going to move
Its headquarters. , , , ..
"And 1 will not see yon agalnT said
the girl, ber smile vanishing. . ' .
"Perhaps not," replied Ben. not think'
lng It wise to leave ber to look' for
ward to meeting him again. "You'll
grow up soon and get married. Then
yon won't want any young men friends
like me." . , ;
In order the better to kill In her all
expectation of cettln any nearer to
him he told ber he hud a girl In the
north.
That evening 1 met Ines carrying a
cudgel in oue band and a canvas bag
In the other. - she nore the same Inno
cent look ebe bnd always worn, but I
noticed a peculiar glitter In her eye.
There was something incongruous in
a little girl's carrying a bludgeon, and,
naturally fearful tor lieu, Eggleston,
I could not . help vaguely connecting
the act with the Jilting he was giving
her. She pa r?d me . irUhout looking
back, and. ' taking position behind a
tree, I watched her. ' '
She went along, looking about her
on the ground as If searching for some
thing. She spent half an hour in this
way, I following ber, taking a new po
sition now and then where I, would
not be observed by her. Presently I
saw her hit something with her weap-
tw ua uuui ituvri uisumctt u a
baby alligator. She held it by the taO.
dropped It Into the bag, closed th
mouth and went away.
I didn't know what it all meant; bat,
still timorous about Ben, I told him he
had better not wait for the moving of
the party, but get out at once, . He
laughed at me and said there was
nothing to fear and If there were be
wouldn't ran from a little Mexican
girl who had scarcely given up her
dolL fv . , , .....
We engineers, slept In a long tem
porary building one story high. That
night I was startled by an unearthly
yelL Lpringing out of bed. I ran along
to a room where Eggleston and a rod
man slept. The window was open,
and Eggleston had Jnst struck a light
His roommate was holding one leg
and writhing with pain. , ,
Kill it!" be yelled. f
' Then I saw a little alligator looking
thing on the floor. ;
"Kill It! It's the GHa monster and
has bitten me. I'm gone up.' 1 '
Inez's actions were explained. . She
had dropped the reptile in through
the window on Ben, she supposed, but
really on his roommate. For a week
the poor devil howled in agony, then
died.
That was years ego. Ben Eggleston
has never married. .The bare men
tion of a woman produces on him a
temporary insanity. ; - .
FREAK TREASURY NOTES.;
The Faoe of the Bill, Net the Baok, In.
) , dioates Its Value, -
Despite the careful scrutiny given
every bill that leaves, the bureau oi
engraving and printing, a number of
freak" notes find their way into cir
culation from time to time. Such a
one was a note that once came to the
Bubtreasury at New York., ' It had the
imprint of a twenty dollar note on one
side and of a ten on the other, I, Bat, in
asmuch as the face showed the figures
20, 20 was the legal value of the bill-
In most cases the "freak" "bills that
have escaped the vigilance of the bu
reau's officers are national banknotes.
which, like the regular treasury notes,
are printed there. As Intimated . al
ready, the face value Is always recog
nized when, the freaks" come to be
cashed at any branch of the treasury.
The Imprint on the back has no lawful
status whatsoever. :; ?
The notes are printed, in sheets.
Usually there wm be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet . They are print
ed one side at a time, so it can readily
be seen that the printer In turning
over the sheet might get It upside
down and thus put a ten dollar back
on the twenty dollar note or a twenty
On the back of one of the tens.
, When errors are discovered the mis
printed sheet Is laid aside to be de
stroyed. It cannot be torn up at once,
for every sheet has to be accounted
for. After some formalities it Is ground
Into pulp. ! v,. -
' Almost all the "freak" bills that have
been Issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be. destroyed. It is thought that
very few of them are now scattered
about, and these are for the most part
in the hands of curio hunters. Har
